Open the PhET States of Matter Simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16phetvisual) to answer the following questions:
(a) Select the
(b) For each substance, select each of the states and record the given temperatures. How do the given temperatures for each state correlate with the strengths of their intermolecular attractions? Explain.
(c) Select the Interaction Potential tab, and use the default neon atoms. Move the Ne atom on the right and observe how the potential energy changes. Select the Total Force button, and move the Ne atom as before. When is the total force on each atom attractive and large enough to matter’? Then select the Component Forces button, and move the Ne atom. When do the attractive (van der Waals) and repulsive (electron overlap) forces balance? How does this relate to the potential energy versus the distance between atoms graph? Explain.

- What is formed when gas is enclosed in a chamber then liquified under very high pressure? * What latent heat value signifies the lost of heat during a phase change? What is the unique temperature and pressure at which the three phases of a substance are in equilibrium with each other? * Which liquid crystal is of pharmaceutical significance? *arrow_forwardhttps://interactives.ck12.org/simulations/chemistry/phases-of-matter/app/index.html?screen=sandbox You will see this on your screen. -50 °C Heat Final State O uwie O ucuid Solid Part I Heating Curve Select the starting state to be Solid and the final state to be Gas, start the heating by clicking the arrow on the lower left.

Answer questions asked on the Post Lab Assignment Part II. Post Lab Assignment 3. What' the y- axis and x-axis of the heating curve? 4. Sketch…arrow_forwardIn our previous discussions, we discussed how phase changes (gas to liquid to solid, for example) can occur by manipulating the parameter of temperature. We defined temperature as the average kinetic energy of the particles, so when we raise or lower the temperature, we are adding or removing energy to the system, respectively. Gas Cool or compress Heat or reduce pressure Liquid Cool Heat Crystalline solid Based on your observations over the past two weeks, please explain why lowering the temperature can condense the helium gas into a liquid, a process by which the He atoms stick together?arrow_forward

Sea level 700 GuadalajaracMexico 600 Mexico City Many ski resorts and mountain cities can be reached directly by planes which deposit travelers a mile or more above sea level. This can result in altitude sickness due to hypoxemia, or reduced oxygen in the blood, caused by the unaccustomed exposure to the lower atmospheric pressure at high elevations. 500 La Paz Bolivia 400 Wenquan China On a given day, the prevailing atmospheric pressure in Tahoe City, CA (elevation 1890 meters) might be 0.775 atm.
